It's time to suit up, pinch your nose, wiggle your hips and shimmy on down for the Summer Watershed Campaign.
KWMR is celebrating the addition of the San Geronimo Valley's 92.3 FM signal!
KWMR now broadcasts to the entire watershed in West Marin AND that adding the Lagunitas Translator was a "watershed" moment or KWMR.
We are going to activate the pledge line and are hoping for a flood of calls starting at 8 am on Friday, August 22nd. The number to call between 8 am Friday morning and 10 pm Monday night (August 25th) is 415-663-9050. If you aren't ready to take the plunge, you can pledge via the Internet at www.kwmr.org! All contributions will be counted towards the goal of $15K. We hope our cup runneth over.
Speaking of water....KWMR's Internet stream has switched providers so you may need to re-establish your link to listen via the web. We apologize for any disruption to mobile listening.
Don't be a drip, take the plunge and help KWMR raise some much needed funds this summer. Programmers will be splashing the airwaves with campaign information and hope that listeners will drink it up!
